I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs 
I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now 
And I'm singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly 
But darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darling, can't you please see through me?
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth 
Withholding nothing
You came out in front 
And I was hiding
But now I'm so much better 
And if my words don't come together
Listen for the melody 
Cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place 
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life,
You are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone 
And I was singing this song for you
We were alone and 
I was singing this song for you
